The Tom Shelby Haircut (What To Ask Your Barber For)

by Men's SocietyFebruary 24, 2018

Unless you're one of those people that's just far too cool to own a TV, you've seen Peaky Blinders. For us, the real take-home from the show (except the extreme violence, awe-inspiring manipulation and mind-blowing visuals) is Tommy Shelby's hair.

It's a masterpiece. A work of art.

Sure, it helps that Cillian Murphy's cheekbones are higher than the Shard and his face is almost geometrically angular. But it's a surprisingly easy look to replicate.

When you show up to your appointment, as Crystal to clipper a number two around the back and sides and leave enough length on top that it can be brushed forwards but short enough that it doesn't hand low over the sides.

To finish the look, put some product in it and brush forwards towards the Fringe. If you're going authentic, flick the hair over to one side at the front.

It's a style that needs maintenance. To keep it looking as slick as Tommy, you could be looking at as many as two cuts a month. But if you keep it up, you'll definitely be turning heads.
